Introducing the Crucible Mystery Box

I fully support funding the game through MTX. These boxes however push it too far, they are either full-on whale-food. Also, they prey on folks with poor impulse control and / or grasp of math, however unlikely this for the average PoE player.

If I want a copy of the Planetary Orb, I'm looking at a chance of 5,26% of getting one.

The marketing implies that your odds get better after buying boxes, but that rarely matters. The second box will improve my odds by about 0,10%, the third by 0,20%.

What they should have done is scrap the variations. I would probably spend a €100 for a full set, just to get the orbs. However, with the variations, you are looking at roughly €300 for a full set.

It sours me a bit that really cool and innovative MTX pieces are kept behind this very expensive gambling mechanism. If it works out for GGG (which it probably does), there is a high incentive to keep pushing the best MTX into this category.

Maybe I'm just bitter that I can't spend that kind of money without flinching, feel free to call me out on that. I just feel like it goes against the generally fair business model that GGG established.

why exactly can't the aura effects be equiped in all auras? cmon, did we got back in time? they used to be aura specific, then you made it so we could use any aura mtx on any aura, and now we are locked to use them with specific ones again, wtf

One request. Any chance that the finishers can also affect minions' kills?

GGG, please make this "visual behaviour that interacts with your gameplay" toggleable. I like the design of the armor sets. But I like it clean, with no forced visual effects that should be a separate "character effect".
